Shannon News and Reviews 7.17.19

Alright guys... here is a new thing I'm doing... I will just be a one-woman news blog every once and a while telling you about the news I care about and what I want to talk about... along with some reviews. To be honest- I always handwrite this before I type it on the blog... and I'm just going to write the same stories because... why not.

I'll start off with the review! The newest Frappucino Flavor was released at Starbucks and it is pretty good! The Tye Dye Frap! This is a really beautiful frap and it actually tastes really good! It's probably not my favorite limited edition frappucino... but I liked it. It was pretty and it tasted like fruity pebbles and I'm not sure I'd really order it again... but it isn't bad. I'd recommend it!




Speaking of Starbucks... I'm also already pretty excited for fall... I'm not trying to rush away summer- but at the store I work at they've started putting out fall candles... and I kind of want to enjoy the coziness of fall.I'm also a funko pop fan- and they recently came out with the Sanderson Sisters Funko Pop Movie Moment.

It's a Spirit Halloween Exclusive and you can pre-order it now... it's expected to ship in September. There's also a few new Nightmare Before Christmas Pops- I don't think these are exclusive or anything, but they have a Jack Skellington Pop Town, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Witch, the One Eyed Mummy and a new Jack figure. It's cute and I love Nightmare before Christmas- so I'm sure I'll get some of those.

There is rumored to be a trailer or a look at Marvel's Black Widow movie... which is pretty cool. It might debut at San Diego Comic Con. I'm excited for that... I'm skeptical it will happen that early- maybe it'll be at D23 in August... but I'm just hoping for some look sometime soon.

In some more Disney News, they released the dates of the Rise of The Resistance rides coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland. So Disney World's ride will open December 5th and Disneylands will be January 17th.

Netflix announced The Cuphead Show- which I'm pretty excited about! I don't play the Cuphead games, but my boyfriend does... and I think they're pretty cute and I'm just excited to see the animation! It looks cool and cute.

I'm going to end this with another review... and that is Back to The Future! I had never actually  seen the original Back to The Future... but I kind of know about Back to The Future 2 because I went on the Universal Ride- which I think was based off of that movie... and I always seem to see Back to The Future 3... which is a western and I like that. I really loved this movie though- it was really cute and just a fun time travel movie. I've finally seen it and it is definitely worth the several years of hype I've heard about it... I can honestly say it exceeded the hype. It's really a good one.

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
